“…'Resonance' is also defined as 'continues to sound', and in the context of 2 P. Tinkler memory this is pertinent in that a photo has affects/ 'sounds' that continue over time and beyond the contexts in which it was initially made, viewed and used. In many instances, people have close bonds with their personal photos and they are resonant, but this is not always the case (Freund, A. with Thiessen, A 2011). Moreover, resonance is not always dependent on a personal connection; it can sometimes result from engaging with other people's family photos.…”

“…37 Those images are not merely prompting more detailed memories but have 'the potential to enable shared authority between the interviewer and the interviewee.' 38 This shared authority gives the interviewee the confidence to build a new collaboration with the researcher. In our case, this process took place in a very unintentional manner, as we simply projected in the Sharing Memories events a montage which alternated audiences' recollections with sequences from the most popular films of that time.…”

The new cinema history approach asserts the importance of investigating the historical reception of films. In the past two decades, empirical research on film audiences has significantly developed methodologies and questions related to film and memory. Some of these studies concentrate on a period of time in which cinema was an essential leisure activity for millions, before the arrival of television, multiplexes, videos and home cinema. Combining ethnographic audience study with cultural and cinema history has allowed new insights into the historical reception of films and confirmed the vital role of oral history for a better understanding of cinema audiences. Italian Cinema Audiences (2013–2016) – an AHRC-funded inter-institutional research project – sits precisely within this new body of research and responds to the urge of using a bottom-up approach to shed new light on the cultural history of a country in a particular historical moment. This article will make use of the findings of the Italian Cinema Audiences research project to explore the role of oral history in the process of understanding cinemagoing as a cultural practice and to better comprehend how this type of research can enrich our understanding of the cinemagoing experience in particular and film cultures more broadly. It will also reflect on the process of remembering what I will define as ‘memories of pleasure’.

“…Using plates provided both by the interviewer and, later, by the participants (Richard and Lahman, 2015) to complement the interview process necessitated choices in how to present the plates taken by the interviewer during the site visits, namely, in a photobook (album), and which of the several hundred plates would be selected for printing and display by the interviewer (Parker, 2009; Warren, 2009). Seeing the plates encouraged the interviewees to relate and re-evaluate their life stories (Freund and Thiessen, 2011) in the context of the SECV.…”

Purpose This paper aims to demonstrate advantages of using the photo elicitation technique from sociology, ethnography and visual anthropology to management history through reference to a study of job loss within the State Electricity Commission of Victoria in the Latrobe Valley, Australia, as it was undergoing transition and privatization in the early 1990s. Design/methodology/approach This is a methodology paper exploring photo elicitation and the theoretical perspectives of life course and identity work when applied in management history. Findings The use of photo elicitation encouraged interview participants to share their perspectives about the common experience of job loss in an Australian regional area which gave rise to some common themes about occupational identity and the challenges of being unemployed. Social implications After job loss, some common experiences have been found, namely, depression; drug and alcohol addiction; domestic violence and family break down; and even suicide. Originality/value Use of photo elicitation provided the methodology and framework to undertake original research in management history in an Australian region still experiencing denidustrialization of brown coal mining and power generation.
